• No witchcraft, no enemy action had silenced the rebirth of new life in this stricken world. The people had done it themselves.
Quotes from the author of "Silent Spring" Rachael Carson
SILENT SPRING
IF WE HAD ONLY LISTENED TO RACHAEL
OUR FATE COULD HAVE CHANGED
IF WE HAD ONLY LISTENED
THERE WOULD BE NO NEED
FOR USELESS ATTEMPTS
TO REPAIR MOTHER EARTH.
THE SCIENTISTS SCRAMBLE FOR SOLUTIONS
BUT NO ONE WAS LISTENING
WHEN RACHAEL SPOKE
AND THEY STILL DON'T BELIEVE.

There's a lot of people we should have listened to, sadly.
And those who don't listen to history...
Have a great day, Gail!
Nice picture...sure makes you think, doesn't it?
Interesting... I was just thinking about the Indians and their reaction to our assault upon the Earth. Funny that even so long ago there were folks we didn't listen to!
It would be just interesting if we did not have to live here and deal with the problems we have created...as it is, I believe it will be tragic...
It's never too late to change things for the better. And I hope we do.
But it's a worry.

Many turned a deaf ear to the wisdom in her words! Now look where were at! Scary!

Maybe there is hope for mankind and the earth yet. We have to keep believing. Don't we?
.. a lot of food for thought here.
I thought of 'Silent Spring' too, though I went for a laugh in my magpie. Good massage.
I love the message you have in here and thanks for sharing the quote.
Small steps make a difference too! This might be the year to make one positive change, each of us, I know I need too!
Of course they didn't listen. She was a woman!!!
